<p>@aufossil21: yes i see ur point…but when i saw all the high scores i wasnt really surprised since Rice is such a fantastic school!!
and i totally chose it over harvard even tho i live in boston and my parents tried to force me to apply there. </p>
<p>sorry i just had a moment.</p>
<p>Yeah, but honestly, like others have said, we’re a really small section of the applicant pool. It’s nice to see the results of years’ past, like the deferences/acceptances/rejections and their stats because it gives an idea of exactly what happened to those people, but if we’re just throwing around our scores and talking about stats (unless it’s a chance board), then it’s just us applicants intimidating each other whether it’s on purpose or not. And besides, it’s a mere 24 hours within the amount of time we’re going to find out the results anyway - why must we see “who we’re competing with”? =]</p>
<p>I agree with Travistag. I know personally that I just ramble once I get nervous, hence the lengths of my posts. I just want something to take my mind off of waiting.</p>
<p>@RaeBanging: sorry if it looked like i was showing off my scores - i wasn’t intending to do that, i swear</p>
<p>lol travistag I posted what I just posted like 2 seconds after you posted that - now this board is getting really active haha so it all comes out of order</p>
<p>I’ve managed to avoid the “chance me” posts but here goes…
My son took the ACT twice, 33 composite each time, once with a 36 on the math.
He took the SAT 3 times: 2090 , 2190, 2290 (Nov 2009). The last one was 780 M, 800 CR, 710 W.
SAT2: 800 Math 2, 780 Bio E
4s and 5s on the AP Global History, US History, Stat, Bio, and English Comp, so he’s earned AP Honors with Distinction and
We hope that offsets his 3.6/3.9 GPA and around 15% class rank.</p>
<p>sorry if that comes off that way…most of us are just trying to find ways to pass the time</p>
<p>not trying to shove anything in anybody’s face(unlike some other schools on CC)</p>
<p>agreed, Fromen.</p>
<p>Wait, guys, i was definitely showing off…</p>
<p>wow lol three posts in one minute; we’re starting to get as active as those ivy league ED boards hahahaha</p>
<p>HAHA yes!!! i get that alot. and since i’m from new york, Rice isn’t as well known…so its even worse because they’ve never heard of the school ):</p>
<p>Intensewaiter: I’ve heard McGill is a wonderful school, and we live in California.</p>
<p>intensewaiter: I’m asian and I know EXACTLY what you mean hahaha</p>
<p>Also, a lot of people have been telling me that I will be the only asian in Houston…but I don’t understand that because I have seen plenty of asians at Rice!</p>
<p>im white, but my friends and parents still make many terrible rice jokes all the time.</p>
<p>Pootypie I’m from NY also…if you don’t mind me asking, which school do you go to?</p>
<p>Rice is 18% Asian, so I don’t think being asian is an oddity there.</p>
<p>sick i’m asian too 
yeah, from what i’ve heard rice is very diverse. which is excellent b/c its probably my favorite feature of new england</p>
<p>Geuss its tomorrow, im freaking out cause i really wanna get in, but my stats arent that great compared to CCers and idk if ill be able to make that 30%</p>
<p>whoa all of you guys are asian. Am i the only middle eastern up in here?</p>
<p>being from Houston i can say that Houston has a pretty good sized Asian population(most prominent being Korean); it also has a pretty good Chinatown mmmmm :)</p>
<p>and Rice has a huge proportion of Asians on campus so i wouldn’t worry about not “fitting in” as an Asian on campus</p>
